So, does it mean I can opt for mobile service and don't need to take it in?

Nice product management solution! this could work - also will probably be a software change, not involving the hardware.. On the stalkless indicators and screen based gear change - I have not found any issues in the first 50 miles or so but did have to think a millisecond more when changing...

Picked up my car 2 days ago... fantastic to drive.. looks beautiful. Did spot some condensation in the tail light - so booked a service appointment for next week.. otherwise looks great!

Do they not have the SA/ team do a final prep before delivery? Quite shocked this could happen!

Not FL, but for my insurance my SA asked me to just upload current document even without the new vehicle (he said this is fine since I'm not leasing)

Recd message that my car arrived on site today and I could get earlier delivery (originally slated for Wednesday). Unfortunately, today they had no slots and tomorrow I'm traveling so decided to stick with original slot :(

Scheduled my delivery for 27th! I'm guessing this means the car is enroute by train or something and they have a good handle on ETA?

Looks fantastic!

Earl grey and stealth red? love the new names! :)

Question for you all: Now that I have the VIN, is it a good time to explore the financing option? Currently I have cash. Same Q for insurance - should I do it now or closer to EDD (which is 26 - 31)?

Agree. Also I have got an SMS before each major update - like today for the VIN

Have to say the blue looks good even in the app.. :)

Your EDD movements are identical to mine. So I'd say keep the faith, VIN is probably enroute!

VIN assigned! but EDD moved to Mar 26 - 31. 2 weeks from now.. Exciting stuff!

My EDD is still Mar 18 - 31, no VIN yet though!

Checked with SA on the app today about VIN, since EDD start date is 10 days away.. they said they had the same info as the app. Hoping for a VIN next week!

True. OD in Jan so got the 45K something price.. Usually demo vehicles get a discount but i guess that won't happen here given the demand, new model dynamics..

highly tempted - i guess downside is demo vehicle so some mileage and possibility of rough usage by some demo driver?

Yeah, I check inventory as well - nothing for new 2024s or 2023s for that matter, only used..

Looks amazing! Congrats and enjoy the driving!

Also the head of design guy is in all these videos - this livestream, the Jay Leno one but hardly says anything..

Really nice deductive work! :) Conjecture but seems logical..

Also what's with the SA accompanying demo drivers in other brands versus solo in Tesla? Experience of test drive is definitely hampered in those brands - tradeoff versus decreased risk of theft, maybe?

Tesla might be the one brand where people order without even demo driving?

Yeah, similar observations. Demo drove an i4 and have owned multiple BMW models in the past. No comparison these days even on metrics like driving quality.. definitely more luxurious which may be a factor for some consumers.. that is how comparisons used to be between BMW and Lexus 20 years ago!!

Good explanation and makes sense since inventory and revenue recognition happens differently in D2C..

I first thought the LR/ AWD is the problem but it does seem like its the white interiors. Any idea why those are getting delayed? is it procurement of some white leatherette/ raw materials or ventilation/ production issues with white seats or something else? are white ones from China facing the...

Same config - EDD updated today from Marc 22-31 to Mar 18 - 31. looks like a batch shipment!

You've achieved transcendence! :) Hope we all get to do that soon!

I know this was meant to be in jest, but that's what being an OEM means versus a mere marketplace, however great! I mean, can you imagine if we opened the box from Tesla and found a soap bar instead of a cellphone/M3 like the earlier days with Amazon! :p

Good to hear someone moving to AWD! I have been wondering whether I should move from AWD to RWD, whether the extra bucks is worth the long range (given the LFP vs NMC limitations in reality, longer waits etc etc) but this is reinforcing!

Thanks! Hope so.. It does look like last 2 weeks of March are going to be AWD time going by the micro-sample here..

My EDD been at Mar 22-31 for days but today I got the "make final payment" option on the app. Is that progress or am I starting to hallucinate??

And so it begins (or at least I hope so..)

this is SGrey right?

Congrats! Would love to know what factors people were discussing for the RWD vs AWD debate? Have booked AWD but still keep thinking RWD is better value/ more suited to my needs now..

Absolutely, I do this too! Also, been test driving just out of sheer boredom (and for a bit of benchmarking) other roughly comparable cars such as BMW i4 e35 and e40... Tried to be as objective as possible as I was a long-time user and fan of BMW machines. But I was blown away by how much...

It seems to be demand-driven given the price increase for white interior? But it's strange that there has been no change for the SR version - I'm sure the demand for that is equally strong..

Similar! Was March 21 - 31 now Mar 22 - 31. Moved by a day.. hopefully it doesn't get the April - May treatment..

The SC I went to in PA had a few M3 demo vehicles - but even on a weekday afternoon, surprised to see people streaming in for test drives. I can see why they would want multiple..

Wonder if that is demand management or pricing stabilization based on other markets? If I'm not mistaken, the difference in UK between SR and LR is 10,000 GBP

Very nice! Congrats! For those who have taken delivery and had it for some time, how's the range playing out? LR/SR

That makes a lot more sense!

Unlikely, but is this because the later orders were $1K more? Don't remember exactly when they hiked the prices.

Looks fantastic! Congrats!

Guess Tartaruga's post shows that they are doing some RWD deliveries in Feb..

Wow - that's quite a quick delivery turnaround. Good for you!

Yeah, Y does look a bit bulky whereas the M3 is sleek!

Interesting! Anyone have second thoughts about moving to a MYLR - at $41K (after tax credit), 310 mile range, it is a quite a value buy.. although it won't be the refreshed version.
